Question

what would happen if organ of corti was damaged?

Answer 1

• Noise induced impairment
• hearing loss
• sensorineural hearing loss
• loss of active amplification function.

Explanation:

The organ of Corti is the sensitive element of the inner ear . It can also be thought as the body's microphone .It was discovered by Alfonso Giacomo Gaspare Corti in 1857. Transduction is the main function of this. Transduction occurs through vibrations of structures in the inner ear causing displacement of cochlear fluid and movement of hair cells at the organ of Corti to produce electrochemical signals.

While hearing loss has always been considered irreversible in mammals , fishes and birds routinely repair such damage.
